1) Beyond(Bb) has shinigami eyes, because his parents had shinigami body parts. That's all I know of, as of late. .~.;; Sorry.

2) Misa...IS DEAD. K? Dead. She died on Valentine's day, one year after Light dies. Yeah. I know. Tragic.

3) No one likes Near. I mean, I like him, but really, I've asked everyone I know, and out of, like...20 people, including myself, only 3 like him. .-.;; So tragic.

4) However you may think, there IS the possibility of another Death Note series; because Death Note is NOT about Yagami Light, as much as you may think it be so. It's about a HUMAN, obtaining a DEATH NOTE. Hence, the name, DEATH NOTE. So yes, there is a possibility.

5) Obata is working on something called RasGald, or something.. I can't remember. I'll post it up when I find it.

6) Blue Dragon is by someone else entirely. .-.;;

7) The successors of L were raised to be the greatest detective in the world. Bb mistook this, believing that he should BECOME Lawliet(L). That's why he's like that. He wanted to BE Lawliet, NOT a copy.

8) In Death Note 13: How to Read, Ohba states that they all have something that they absolutely love. It's a genius thing. Oh, it's also rumored that there are things that they are deadly afraid of, like Lawliet being deathly afraid of salt, and Mello being deathly afraid of broccoli.

9) Beyond isn't JUST "Backup", he's successor #2. Actually, the successors of L are alphabetically ordered, starting from A and ending at Z. The first successor, Autumn Ayers(Aa), committed suicide after Lawliet revealed to him of the successor stuff.

^ LOL, thats what my friend does since she owns the book. She reads it like all the freaking time now. Today I am letting my other friend read it, but she hardly read any of them (which makes me worried) because i might want to read it again soon .

And recently, I made a brief book review on it. It is for class though (and I'm curious if I did good ><)

Spoiler for Death Note: Another novel book review:

This was a really interesting turn of events if you ever watched an/or read the Death Note series. The novel "Death Note Another novel: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases" written by a fan name Nisoisin is something you should read even though you never heard of the series. If you like mysteries, then you'll definitely love this book.

The story "Death Note Another Novel: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases" is one of those book that lets you think really hard on the characters and makes you ask lots of questions in your head. The story was told in Third-person by one of the characters name Mello who's in fact, this whole story was written in a notebook written by him. This talks about how the character Naomi Misora (who worked for the FBI) was helping out L, the century's greatest detective on a mysterious case in Los Angeles. She had to figure out some hints and clues through the story on how did the murderer kill his victims and when did this person kill them.

This story has a whole lot of analogies and speculation between characters, which made the story more difficult (if your reading level is like in the 5th or 6th grade level) and fun to read. For me, I pretty much understood the whole story though in a couple parts about the Wara Ningyo confused me. As I continued to read, the confusing parts made sense and everything else (in the plot) blended well together. I really recommend this book no matter how difficult it is because this book keeps your brain thinking, and you get to learn some things about the Japanese culture a little bit.

I am currently reading the Death Note: Another Note novel at the moment. I had to wait for it to be back in stock on Play.com before I could recieve it though.

'tis amazing. I now know a lot more things regarding Death Note, L, and L's whole background after reading some of this book, things that I did not know before..although his could be due to the fact that I have not finished watching nor reading the Death Note series all the way through. It was also interesting to learn more about Naomi Misora too. I also adore the twisted plot in which it posesses.

I finished reading it last night, and I must say that I did not expect that. What an amazing finish to an amazing novel. I want to read it again now that I know the amazing twist to it. It was quite expected but I did not actually see it. 'twas a very clever novel.

I also loved that one line near the end of the story, although I will not state it just in case.

Glad you like the book =D. I also agree that it was pretty interesting to learn more about Naomi. She was one of my favorite characters in the book (not the whole series altogether of course). I just wish that this whole book could've been in the beginning of the series. It would've made the anime and manga in total better. It titillated my mind a lot lol.

Indeed. I think that all Death Note fans should read this book atleast once to get more of an in-depth description of what it revolves around.. Alas, just as Mello wrote in the notes, it gives the reader a great view of L's amazing deductive skills and unique way of thinking and how it is that he recieved the title of the world's greatest detective. If one reads this then they can clearly see how great he, and also Misora, were back a few years prior the manga/anime...of course that is not to say that L was not amazing during the manga and anime too.

I suppose it was good to make it a seperate project to the manga though. It just gives it that nice feeling of extra story. I was quite hoping that they would make more novels based on the other cases written in the back of the book, on the conclusion page. That would be good, I would definitely buy them.

I just finished the book and I enjoyed it very much. I didn't know what to expect since it didn't involve a Death Note and I don't usually read mystery novels, but I thought it was well thought out and written well, too. As I read it I kept wanting to know what would happen next.

n when they say "it was the first time L introduced himself as Ryuzaki n it ends up beening all the way at the end n u think Ryuzaki ,the one that "helped" Naomi was L but it really was B that was were it got me like OMG that wasnt L it was B n all the time ur like o that L sence we know who L looks like we were all like that then BAM!!!!! Ryuzaki dies n L is all like "im Ryuzaki n Naomi neve thought that she meet L n all

It did such an amazing job of transferring Anime style imagery into written prose.

There are a few laugh out loud parts around certain descriptions of characters mannerisms and personalities which are as close as I've seen anyone get to recreating the visual equivalent of the animes.

The plot twist is EPIC and will evade even the most accomplished until very near the end. It's got an excellent pace. Very un put downable.

I bought it from manchester airport and finished it before I landed in amsterdam.

If you like Death Note and can read this is balls out essential.

============================

Anyway , I only intended to post here to enquire if another one is coming out.

well i loved it and all but i dont think that there will be another one
the story line was to well plot out and takes a long time to organized thoughts like that but it is likely as well as the death note thought. there are many ideas like that but none are confurmed (sp?) just yet or at all ^_^
just wanted to say my thoughts ^_^

Sorry to quote an older post, but to clarify, I believe that original storyline writer of Death Note, Tsugumi Ohba, stated that while he help in the writing of the novel much, that Nisio Isin did such a good job in writing it, he'd consider it canon and that it definitely fits into the Death Note story.
